Just a few weeks earlier, on May 18, 2025, the Styrian People's Party celebrated its 80th anniversary. The party was founded on May 18, 1945 in the convent building of the cross sisters in Graz. In honor of this anniversary, a solemn service took place on the founding day, in which former governors and Vice Chancellor also took part. During the celebration, Manuela Khom emphasized the values ​​of stability and responsibility that the party has shaped since it was founded. In late summer, a large family festival is also to be organized to celebrate the anniversary in order to honor the success and the history of the Styrian People's Party. In the anniversary week, the history of the party is increasingly discussed on various digital channels, especially on social media. The website [stvp.at] (http://www.stvp.at/80 years) offers a journey through time through the 80 years of the Styrian People's Party and describes the historical milestones.

historical roots and leaders

The Styrian People's Party provided relevant figures in Styrian state politics in the post -war period. She provided the governor for a total of 69 years. Anton Pirchegger was the first democratically elected governor of Styria after the war from 1945 to 1948. Other important governors were Josef Krainer Senior (1948-1971), Friedrich Niederl (1971-1980), Josef Krainer Junior (1980-1996), Waltraud Klasnic (1996-2005), Hermann Schützenhöfer (2015-2022) and Christopher Drexler (2022-2024). With Manuela Khom, who has headed the party's fortunes since December 2024, the People's Party relies on familiar values ​​in a constantly changing political landscape.

The foundation of the Styrian People's Party was founded one month after the founding of the Austrian People's Party (ÖVP), which was launched on April 17, 1945. In the following years, the ÖVP performed as a significant political force in Austria and unites a wide range of positions. In the past, the ÖVP often represented the Federal Chancellor and significantly determined Austrian politics.

The successes and challenges of the Styrian People's Party are closely linked to the history of the ÖVP, which has its roots in the Christian social party. This was founded in the early 1890s and was active until the authoritarian state was established. After the Second World War, the ÖVP re -formed and won in the first National Council election in 1945, which laid the foundation stone for a long political tradition.

The Styrian People's Party and its history are a reflection of political development in Austria since World War II. It stands for stability and responsibility and will continue to play a central role in Styrian and Austrian politics in the future, as on [wikipedia] (https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%96 Österreichische_Volkpartei).
